Major Me

Major Me by Paco Rabanne Eau de Parfum is an olfactory experience that has recently made its way to Australian shores. This tantalizing fragrance takes you on a journey that starts with an irresistible, peppery cherry note and evolves into a rich, complex blend that's nothing short of captivating. From the first spray, Major Me grabs your attention. The opening note of peppery cherry is both intriguing and mouthwatering, providing an unexpectedly spicy-sweet start that is as unique as it is enticing. This initial burst is an olfactory delight that instantly makes a statement. As the fragrance begins to settle, it transitions into a heart of luscious cherry mingled with oud, patchouli, and incense. The result is a masterfully balanced blend that is rich, warm, and deeply sensual. The cherry note keeps its presence throughout, lending a sweet, fruity facet to the composition, while the oud and patchouli contribute a grounded earthiness. The incense adds a smoky allure, making the fragrance incredibly seductive. Major Me is a scent that not only smells divine on the wearer but also seems to be a hit with those around. It has a magnetic quality that draws compliments, making it a fantastic choice for anyone seeking a fragrance that leaves a lasting impression. The performance of Major Me is excellent. It lasts for hours on the skin, and its projection is just right - not too overpowering, yet noticeable enough to catch attention. Major Me by Paco Rabanne Eau de Parfum is a fragrance I highly recommend. It's a scent that manages to be both bold and sophisticated, with an intoxicating blend of notes that is sure to appeal to both the wearer and those lucky enough to catch a whiff. Its unique peppery cherry opening and alluring oud, patchouli, and incense drydown make it a standout addition to any fragrance collection.

I relembre as I blind bought Fragrance du Bois “Sirene”, the first time I used I recognized this immediately as Paco Rabanne’s “Major Me”. I kind of regreted having paid the step price of Sirene as I already had Major Me. I read the review of @>Happy Cat< and thought “wait, was I wrong?” I decided to wear both on each arm and compare them. In the opening Major Me is sweeter and Sirene is more almondy, in the drydown they’re almost the same, lactones take over, Major Me being rougher around the edges, sillage and projection the same and they lasted about the same. I know perfumery is very subjective, but not totally. There is objectiveness. And the object truth about Major Me and Sirene is that Sirene was heavely inspired, almost a copy of Major Me. Fragrance du bois didn't even try to hide it, just look at the pyramid, it’s about the same. This comment by @>Happy Cat< may be a case of niche snob, fangirl of some brand or fragrance or in denial for having paid a high price for the same fragrance. Better advertasing made Sirene more sucessful. If Major Me was launched by a niche company or as it’s own thing, instead of a part of the Pacome collection, it would be equally successful. Anyway, congratulations for Emily on creating this scent profile, both fragrances are amazing.

This is a dark cherry. This is Dracula feeding you cherries in his incense filled rooms. I love this. I can't believe I'm saying this about a fragrance that has such prominent patchouli, but my nose doesn't seem to mind it. It's lovely cherry oud. Pepper gives it a nice touch to the fruity cherry. Benzoin and moss add up the monastery vibes from oud and incense. (Which is a combo I love, I knew a guy who constantly asked me why I smelled like a church, I just like to smell grand, that is all). Now, I went ahead and bought this fragrance. It's just that good and everyone seemed to agree with me on this one. It goes with my everything. P.s. This is still my all time favourite, although it is very potent and I would suggest dialing it down in the summer time. I still love amber in summer. Now, beware!! Due to its unique packaging, they might take this baby away from you in the airport security. I had a carry on and even though it doesn't exceed the 100ml mark, they took it away from me, and searched me head to toe. Get it checked in or just leave it resting at home. Thankfully, I bought a second one month's back. I'm really afraid they're going to discontinue this masterpiece, because no one is aware of this pacollection.

Cherry, somewhat synthetic, slightly spicy with black pepper, you can immediately feel the oud, but not too intense or too masculine, a softer oud I would say, the patchouli gives an earthy touch next to the moss, the incense note ties them all together the notes like a hug. dry down I feel a slight benzoin and the cherry unfortunately becomes barely noticeable (which I regret). Anyway, this was a pleasant surprise, Major is beautiful to me, notes that intertwine in harmony. Peacefully a shareable fragrance.

Lovely cherry from the beginning, not overly sweet, more on the liquorice side. Later the incense appears, not a church incense, more a soft and likeable one. Cherry and incense notes play one against the other for hours (the best part of this fragrance) adding new notes, I can smell rose at some point of the middle stage. Finally soft woods and incense remains in the skin, all cherry is gone. Powerful one and long lasting, go gently with the sprays, a gourmand without teeh cavities. 100% recommended

Wasn't sure what to expect from this perfume, Paco Rabanne perfumes had never thrilled me. Major Me is an outstanding perfume, a great cherry oud scent, all that Lost Cherry by Tom Ford hoped to be but it is not. It feels rich, smooth and well composed, it is quite linear but I really love it. Longevity is also great, I can still smell it after 7 or 8 hours. A must try and definitely full bottle worthy.

This is such a beautiful oud-cherry-patchouli scent. The tart/sweetness of the cherry accents the oud in a really alluring way - this is a compliment getter for sure and lasts a loooong time. I haven’t worn it in very hot weather but I can imagine the only drawback is it may be too overwhelming in higher temps.

Such an AMAZING and sexy cherry fragrance, but it doesn't last more than 2 hours...😢😢 I LOVE cherry note - (Guerlain L'Homme EDP is my all time favorite cherry fragrance) - so i'm thinking to grab a bottle just for close encounter scenarios...If this beauty lasted longer.. DAMN..!!

This perfume is amazing! You rarely find perfumes where the cherry smell is as prominent as in this one, I’ve tried many, and this is just simply the BEST. And the rest of the perfume is quite a “dark” perfume, so the cherry isn’t sweet and sugary, it’s more sexy and sensual.

Wow this juice is gorgeous. I get the cherry and oud in the opening blended beautifully. Then it starts to get earthy and slightly smokey in the dry down. This smells like it should be way more expensive, and performance is beast mode. Very loud projection and sillage.

Just dropped a review of this on my Youtube "Rotten Rebel" The cherry, oud, patchouli and incense blend is so damn good.. And incredibly sexy. I love it. And so far people around me seem to love it as well. Highly recommended!

I love this one. Much better than all those soapy fragrances from PR.

I got a sample of the perfume and I love it, I don't think I would have known or smelled it if the sample hadn't reached my hands. It is a delicious, deep cherry, no candy-type cherries or childish jellybean smell, a tasty cherry in itself mixed with the benzoin and darker thanks to the incense and oud. Seriously considering buying the large size.

Cherry, Oud, Patchouli, Incense......what’s not to love? Gorgeous fragrance, blended really well, not strong enough (to me). It would be better if they kept the blend exactly the same but turned the strength up a notch or two. Overall I am pleased with it but I hate the cheap and nasty bottle.

Beautiful, smoky cherry, can't wait for colder weather to wear it! Quite surprised that Paco came out with this, and the scent inside this packaging was unpredictable.

Blind bought this as it was discounted and someone said it smells like Sirene. I does not. I don’t like it. Cherry in here is very medicinal. Scent feels one dimensional and lacks quality and longevity.

Smells really freaking good but I didn’t find it to have much lasting power that it seems others have gotten. However it was very strong upon first spray and remained so for a little over an hour then it died down to a skin scent. I enjoyed it while it lasted. I’m not a big fan of the bottle though, it’s like a capri sun lol it’s very flimsy and needs to be propped up against a wall to keep it from falling. Overall I think it’s a great perfume, took me by surprise, I only wish I got more than 1.5 projecting hours from it.

Straight away it did remind me of something but not TF Lost Cherry. It smells very close to EA 5th Avenue Royale to my nose with the difference being that it is cherry not raspberry. It smells strong, deep and boozy. So far the longest lasting one from the entire line. Too strong for me as it gave me a bit of a headache, but can imagine it good for winter/cold weather, if this is your type of scent.

I feel like it's way closer to sirene privee than sirene but I could be wrong as I got rid of this particular perfume awhile back, but upon smelling my sample of SP, I was reminded of this perfume.

Amazing sweet juicy fruit strong top note with bold spicy amber base....

First hour I get sour cherry, afterwards mainly incense.
